Stuck in Bandit 1 Challenge

[Foxtrot]

So I need one more robbery to get this done. 

Last night, I:

* Robbed a store in Rhodes 

* Robbed a store in Strawberry 

* Robbed a back room business in Valentine (for the second time)

* Robbed a guy standing at a station 

* Robbed people on a train (this did count as a train robbery in my 100% completion list)

 

i survived and escaped each time, but I’m still yet to get the final robbery for the challenge. What the heck am I missing?

For that challenge, I just walked around saint Dennis and robbed 5 people... I didn't think stores would count.

The iGN walkthrough guide says that stores count. I’m kind of guessing that they’re not wrong, I followed a fair amount of their guide and they’ve been right most of the time. Still, robbing someone on a train and someone waiting for a train should have worked?

I would assume so... Best bet is to just keep robbing people I guess lol

I find half the guides are wrong half the time,  some guides you can't get anything out of worth a crap (polygon sucks).

What i found for this -

Spoiler

You can only rob someone in one location once.  So if you're robbing a train the first person will give credit, the rest won't count.  So i would rob a few on a train, and went between/behind buildings in Valentine and other towns and robbed people there where i wouldn't be seen as easily.  

As best i can remember i robbed a single person on horse that was leaving Valentine, then ran away from the crime area and paid my bounty in Valentine, then robbed someone in the barn, traveled to Strawberry, robbed someone there, then ran back to Valentine to and robbed someone behind the gun store.  Ran away from the crime scene there, then bought a train ticket at Riggs Station to Emerald Station, robbed a lady when the train stopped for the 5th robbery. 

Problem with the people on horse is they tend to shoot at you, took 3 or 4 tries to get the first person robbed that way.

It specifies townspeople so i figured the train was a safe bet and the people riding from the towns (but that was a hassle with them shooting back), and of course in town.

I would suggest make sure youre in a town and to aim your gun at them. The challenge says 'hold up 5 townsfolk' which to me, hold up means with a gun? Idk

Sounds logical to me.
